Semi-Automatic Offside Technology

The 2022 World Cup will also see technological innovations on the pitch. FIFA has already announced that a semi-automated offside technology will be used during the World Cup in Qatar.

This will be a support tool to help referees make accurate, fast, and repeatable offside decisions throughout the tournament.

There will be 12 monitoring cameras around the stadium, apart from a sensor inside the new Al Rihla ball for the new technology. The technology will provide an automatic offside warning to the Assistant Video Referee (VAR) when the ball is played to a player in an offside position. This will eliminate the need for lengthy VAR replays to determine if a player is offside.
